Apple settles 17" Studio Display suit
"The lawsuit claimed that the inverter board of the Display was faulty, causing the gradient dimming of the top or bottom half of the screen of the Display and a power light to constantly blink on and off in a short-short-long pattern to signal a problem," the website reads. "Apple denies all allegations and has asserted many defenses. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated."
A frequently asked questions area explains what the lawsuit is about, the benefits of members, how to request documents by mail, and more. Users looking for a refund on a repair performed by a third-party provider must show proof of the covered repair, and the court is scheduled to hold a hearing on February 15th, 2007 to decide whether to approve the settlement. Following a potential approval of the settlement by Judge West, appeals may delay the case upwards of a year.
